Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

The crew was great!!! No problems there.

Reviewed by: Happy travels, 2024/04/20

Just kind of boring. Better suited for families with little kids. Food was gross. No booze to order. There’s nowhere to shower or change afterwards either.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

Excellent crew, live music and a beautiful setting

Reviewed by: Jess from CA, 2024/04/20

This was such a a fun time! The crew and musicians are what made it so good. They all exude the aloha spirit. The live music was such a a treat, they had really good rapport with our group and were so fun, and talented too. The crew was so wonderful and so nice.
The bay itself is a treasure, so so beautiful. The water is gorgeous, the mountains are stunning. They provide paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and volleyballs.
And the crew is very helpful with all of the gear and how to.use.it. I would recommend it!

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise with Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Everyone was nice and funny!

Reviewed by: Allison, 2024/04/17

Loved the tour guides. The water was abnormally choppy on my trip, I wish I had taken Dramamine. The snacks were well suited for the tour. The boat is great and overall really cool. I brought a 4 and 1 year old. We saw at least 4 sea turtles and they showed us star fish. I will go again.

Highly recommend, kid and family friendly.

Reviewed by: Jp, 2024/04/15

Had a great time the crew was so friendly and helped to take pictures and even played volleyball with the group. The boat was very nice as well lots of seating and a restroom on it. Lunch was good burgers were tasty overall the only down fall was no cold water after the first like 15 min. So I would suggest bringing and insulated bottle thats filled. Would for sure recommend and do it again!

Great Time with the Family

Reviewed by: Marissa, 2024/04/15

We had a great time at sandbar. We went with three small children and they had a great time despite not being interested in snorkeling/kayaking. One of the staff had a speed boat and took our family out for a cruise to look for sea turtles. We got to see a huge turtle swimming out in the ocean and it was definitely a highlight for our trip.

ハワイ水中スクーター 泳げなくてもOK!シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケリングクルーズ

ママと子供のペアに最適

Reviewed by: チョコ, 2024/04/13

今回大人2名子供4名での参加でした。
日本語の対応のスタッフが、たまたまいて対応してくれたので、説明も分かりやすかったです
ヘルメット装着の際は、1度海に潜ってヘルメット被る形になり、後はインストラクターが1人ずつついているので、スクーターも動かしてくれるし、何もやらなくて良かったです。
小さいお子様は少し難しいかもしれません
お魚さんと至近距離で触れ合えて、とても楽しかったです
写真も動画もとってくれて、後で購入する形です
集合場所まで、行きは、ホテルからタクシーで向かったが、帰りがタクシーがつかまらないような場所なので、Uberを呼びました。
周りにレストランやカフェもあるので、お昼も食べれます

船付き場は分かりやすい場所でした。船内では盛り上がるライブミュージックがあり、到着するまでも楽しめました。
引き潮ではなかったので、幻想的なサンドバーではありませんでしたが、supやボート、シュノーケリングで十分楽しめました。
帰りの船では寒さを感じたのですが、バスタオルを多めに持参してたので凌げました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Such a fun day!

Reviewed by: Jen F., 2024/04/13

This was by far the best cruise excursion I have ever participated in, and I’ve done quite a few on Oahu.

Pickup was well organized and on time. The ride out to the boat was pleasant.
The crew in itself felt like family. They were the nicest people, very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Captain even jumped in the water with the kids and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bbq lunch was great.
We saw manta rays and turtles that came right up to the boat,it was a really wonderful day and I can’t tell them thank you enough.
I will absolutely book this again next time we visit.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

綺麗な海で、安全に楽しくシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: かしゅう, 2024/04/13

ハナウマ湾の綺麗な海で、お2人のインストラクターさんに指導していただき、とても楽しくシュノーケリングができました

あまりにも綺麗な海でしたので、もっと長時間シュノーケリングしたかった!というのも同時に思いました。

安全/安心を考慮するとツアー参加でもちろん良いと思いますが、泳ぎ・体力にも自信あり、ハナウマ湾のルールを事前に確認されている方であれば、長時間のツアーや個人での参加も視野に入れて良いかと思いました

We did snorkeling yesterday. Nick is very good. He is professional and very nice. The tour was exactly as prescribed. No boat ride required and it’s in lagoon which is perfect for my 9 year old son. He gets seasick easily. It’s perfect for beginners. I will definitely recommend.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Really great experience

Reviewed by: Fwood, 2024/04/12

Our tour guide Dan was extremely helpful and supportive when my husband struggled with snorkeling. He and his partner helped him and even swam with him to help him feel comfortable.
I appreciated knowing that we were in good hands and they made sure we were all safe while having a great time! Very knowledgeable, personable and helpful Guide. We had an amazing time and Checked snorkeling off our bucket list. It was an easy and fun way to experience this as we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and everything we needed was supplied.

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran

Friendly crew and so much marine life

Reviewed by: Andrea, 2024/04/12

The snorkeling was such a blast we saw several turtles and a ton of fish. The crew were such a pleasure to be around every one of them was nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was small but that was the best part because then we had a much more intimate experience and were able to feel comfortable with our crew(not hard they were all so nice). We were out for over an hour but could hang out on the boat and reenter the water whenever we felt like. The boat had a nylon strap front you could sit on and get wet which we did on our way back to shore after the snorkeling. It was a great relaxing and fun time. Definitely would recommend this company because the price is great, the crew was amazing and the trip was not overly packed.

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Music

This is a must do activity while you are in Oahu. I think this is the #1 reason to visit Oahu so don’t miss out!!!

Reviewed by: Anniversary couple , 2024/04/12

KBOS was an amazing company to book with. We paid for the transportation, but if you plan to rent a car I would skip that part. It is a little tour bus and there are no bathrooms and no easy way to stop for restrooms. Just take your own car if you have one.
The experience itself was spectacular! The entire crew was super nice and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a good time.
The boat is huge- it is the largest boat at the end of the harbor area- you can’t miss it.
It has big tables with benches. Plenty of room for everyone. There are bathrooms on the boat and a room to change in. bring a towel with you if you think you might get cold. We went in bathing suits only and it was fine. A little chilly on the ride back in to shore, but not bad.
We paid for all the activities in advance and it was worth every penny. The banana boat ride was fun. I’m extremely overweight and I was still able to do the banana boat ride. They held the banana boat so I could easily get on and off.
The sandbar is beautiful! It is a must do experience and we loved it.
I would recommend water shoes, but some people didn’t have any and seemed to be fine.
The captain let us go up top and took a picture for us. Great view and perfect pic opportunity.
You can snorkel if you want- they have everything on the boat. We saw fish without snorkeling.
There is some music they play and it is really a nice way to spend some time. It is just the perfect amount of time to be out there too. Just enough time to do all the activities and enjoy the experience.
Bring snacks or drinks on the boat if you want. You can leave your bag and valuables right on the boat where you were seated. It seems super safe.
There is a little store at the harbor just before you get in the boat that sells alcohol and sunscreen and other items you may want.
The crew was super friendly and really tried to make it fun and make you feel welcome.
Bring tip money for the crew and for the band.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation

10/10 experience

Reviewed by: Joseph, 2024/04/11

Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.

One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.

This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!

We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!

Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.
We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another exceptional adventure in the future. A hui hou

Jet Snorkel with Turtles at Electric Beach - Guided Tour with Waikiki Pick-up

Highly recommended

Reviewed by: DT Fam, 2024/04/11

The experience from the shuttle pick up/drop off to guidance and snorkeling are exceptional and amazing. We experienced as it detailed on the booking website.

After booking, I received the picture of the pickup location which is easy to find. Keep your eye to find the shuttle van, he parked across the street when there were 3 coach bus parked in front of the entrance. The van showed up on time and could fit up to 14 people. The van is clean, comfortable seating, and good AC. The driver introduced the Electric Beach and talked about the places.

After dropping off, the driver introduced Jose and Jorge who were the snorkeling guides. They are very friendly and acknowledged. One of my friend did not confident to swim in the ocean, but she trusted Jose and went to the water with us. Jose and Jorge made sure everyone stick together under their guidance. All the gears (snorkeling masks, fins, life jackets, jet machines) were provided. Jorge had his GoPro to record the fun moment and shared to us at the end.

My group loves this experience as many of us had no swimming experience but Jose and Jorge made it easy, fun, and safe.

Really happy with the experience, my son and I loved it. He is a comfortable swimmer, while I just started learning a month ago. He felt comfortable enough to snorkel without holding onto the buoy used by our guide, while I did not yet. It was a perfect introduction to snorkeling in a safe environment.

Solo snorkel in Maui

Reviewed by: Bebe, 2024/04/09

I was nervous about taking this tour since I’ve never snorkeled before and can barely swim. But I figured if nothing else, I could just enjoy the boat ride. Well, not only did I enjoy the boat ride, which was lovely, but ALSO. One of the crew members talked me into putting on a snorkeling mask and “just looking” into the water...OMG! I’m so glad I did. There were so many sea turtles and fish...it was amazing, truly life-changing. I can’t wait to go snorkeling again!! Oh, and also, the food was fantastic. Go on this tour!!

Reviewed by: Mr & Mrs Locke, 2024/04/09

I highly recommend this company and their tours for their service and convenience. Each member of the crew was attentive and full of advice, facts about the area, and all clearly loved their jobs. The dock was easy to get to, no walking for miles to find an out-of-the-way pickup location. Finally, the food was delicious and it was nice not to have to bring my own. Same with the snorkeling masks and the sunscreen.
